A RED VELVET SANTA! I've been down to Meganne's today and I just mentioned that I really wanted to make a Red velvet one - well no sooner said than she gave me a piece of fabric. She also gave me some real Ermine but unfortunately the stitches didn't like going through the pelt - so I used the fur I'd been using previously. All of these Santas are from Evy Hawkins - A Bit of Stitch. I've bought the whole 12 designs and just love them. Thanks for all the lovely comments on the previous ones. Love and blessings Chris. It's midnight - I'm off to bed.

Beautiful, I normally show my husband if I love something in the hope that he says I can have it too. Well he was also amazed at how beautiful you have done it but so far I am still waiting. ***

WOW! He turned out fantastic, I knew the rich red velvet would be right for him. Sorry you couldn't use the fur, I would have hot glued it on. LOL!!!
Is that the gold lame in the sleeves and yoke? It looks truly opulent.
Can't wait to see them all in person.
I was showing the design pics to Ray and for a second I thought he was going to say: "why don't you buy them", but he didn't.
Just as well really I wouldn't want to even try to come up to the standard you have set. :-)))))) hugs n love, me

Thanks Meg, yes I tried with the fur and it stood out too far and the needle didn't like like going through it! Yes, it's the Lame. Ha ha ha! I'm sure Ray wouldn't mind what you bought. Love Chris
Thanks Meg. Yes, the fur was too thick and the needle didn't like going through the thicknesses! Yes, it's the Lame and I'm glad Ray got to see the designs. Keep working on him, he'd give you the Moon if he could! Love Chris

Hi Susan, have a look at my quilt so far. Click on my name and go to PROJECTS - the quilt is there. I had 5 to finish it off and have now done 25. The Red Velvet one is an extra one. Love Chris
He does look better in the flesh so to speak! Have a look at my name and check the quilt out so far. It's in PROJECTS, just click on my avatar name and you will see it. Love Chris
